Jim and Lisa Krause, whose company name is “Deux Bijoux Bijoux” have been together since 1998 and are having a wonderful time exploring their combined talents! They are empty-nesters who share their rural home with a menagerie of four-legged and feathered friends! They moved from a loft in downtown Denver, Colorado to very rural Arkansas in 2006 to fulfill their dream of building a studio and workshop where they could paint and make sawdust!! Their work is an eclectic blend of whimsical and functional pieces that make people smile! All of their work is created with a great deal of heart and their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks!

Their work includes making use of repurposed corrugated metal that has been cut, dye-cut, sculpted and hand-painted; furniture; picture frames; “chairacters”; wall décor; and their wonderful line of “Hello Gourdgeous” gourd people!
